The interstate commerce commis¬

opinion by Commissioner Prouty, ren¬
dered a decision in the case of Brewer

Louisville to Cincinnati more for the

for the longer distance over the same
line to Macon, Ga., have violated sec¬
tions three and four (the long and
short haul sections) of the interstate
commerce act.
XVlial (he Decision Means.
This is another Social Circle ease,
and the question decided is one of
far-reaching importance involving the
relations of small towns to commercial
centers. It is especially interesting
just now because it establishes one of
the propositions laid down by Mr. W.
H. Brewer iu his recent,application to
the railroad commission of Georgia
for a reduction of 33J per cent on alt
freight rates in the state.
One of the grounds of that petition
was the allegation that the railroads
were handling freight from Ohio river
points to Macon for less than they
carry it to Griffin.
This is the second important deci¬
sion the interstate commerce commis¬
sion has made on the long and short
haul claim of tho interstate commerce
act on a complaint from Georgia. Tho
decision in the Social Circle case was
affirmed bv the United. States supremo
court after protracted litigation.
It, was a qualified decision, however,
and the result of tho new case, which
is likely to go to the court of last re-
sort, will lie watched with interest.
The prim iple is in favor of the small
towns and against lower rates to tho
commercial centers and tends to put
all communities on an equality, undecided

SENATE HONORS HABBIS.
Jlodj Ailjourm Out of Kmpert To the l>ei»d
8*n«tor.
The senate met Friday under the
depressing influences of the death of
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, who had
been one of the conspicuous figures in
the upper house of congress for over
twenty years. Tho desk he occupied
so long was not draped, as the senate
had as yet no official knowledge of his
demise.
llev. Johnston, the chaplain of the
senate, in his invocation, referred
feelingly to the loss the senate had
sustained and spoke of his “rugged
honesty, his unswerving attachment
to his political principles, his opposi-
tion to all ho considered wrong, his
devotion to hi. state and his service to
tho nation.
After the journal J had been read, " ’
.Senator a . r, Iir.te, . of t rr, Xenncssee, made , the
announcement of the death of his col-
league. In doing so he paid a high
tribute to the memory of the distin-
guished dead. He spoke of the con-
npicnons part he had played in hi#
(state and in the nation during his
hong and eventful career.
He was the last of the great war
governors, north and south, said Hen-
ator Hate, who presided over the des¬
tinies of sovereign states during the
stirring struggle between the states.
Mr. Hate then offered the usual reso-
lutions which provided for a funeral
in the senate Saturday, to which tho
house was invited, and for a commit-
tee of nine senators to accompany the
remains to Tennessee for interment.
Mr. Cockerell, of Missouri, offered
a supplemental resolution extending
an invitation to tho president, mem-
hers of the cabinet, members of tho
supreme court, the diplomatic corps,
the major general of the army and the
admiral of the navy to atteud the
obsequies.
Then, at 12:15, on motion of Mr.
Bate, as a further mark of respect to
the memory of the deceased, the sen¬
ate adjourned.
MANY DRIVEN TO DEATH
By the Sizzling Heat In Crowded Chicago,
8t. I-onis and Cincinnati.
A Chicago special says: Of all the
hot days that have mado life a burden
since the warm weather of 1897, Fri¬
day was the warmest. There were
more deaths of human beings and of
animals and the number of prostra¬
tions was greater than upon any other
day of the long hot spell that has hung
over Chicago.
Sixteen people are dead of beat, two
nre insane and out of a large number
of prostrations ten cases are eriticol.
Out in the Bridewell, where seven
prisoners went insane Thursday be¬
cause of the heat, others suffered the
same fate Friday. Three men either
strong in the belief that a life of
rectitude secured an eternal abode in
someplace less hot than this, or de-
termined to be packed in ice at any
cost—took their lives. Friday was a
sizzling horror, there xvas comfort to
be found nowhere—it was the hottest
night Chicago has ever known.
A Cincinnati special announces the
number of heat deaths in that city
Friday as six. Thirty prostrations
were reported, with the usual quota of
serious cases. The maximum heat by
trustworthy thermometers for the day
was 96 nt I o’clock p. m. It was 81 at
7 o’clock in the morning, and it was
82 at 11 o’clock at night. The num¬
ber of deaths in the last sexen days is
sixty. from
Seven people died the heat in
St. Louis Friday.
DYNAMITE’S DEADLY YYORK.
Five Negroes Blown to 1‘leees By a If itltlen
uomh.
While a gang of workmen wore mak-
ing excavations along a line of street
railway at Lexington, Ky., Friday,
one of them struck what appeared to
be a piece of pipe, but which proved
to he a sixty-four-pound dynamite
cartridge.
A fearful explosion followed and
fivo of the six negroes in the
were blown to atoms. Tho other was
so badly injured that he cannot re-
cover.
The police are inclined to think the
dynamite was placed there by some
misereant who had a grudge ngninst
the street car company; others think it
was left there by workmen on the Cin-
cinmiti Southern some years ago when
they were making excavations for a
road in the same neighborhood.
Windows in the neighborhood were
broken and several buildings slightly
damaged.

in a Barrel.
A special from Quitman, Oa., says:
Jacob TVooten and some friends, while
fishing Saturday on Mule creek in the
upper part of the county, discovered a
barrel buried upright in the mud and
containing a human body. _ blocks
The body had been cut into
and placed in the barrel, and mud had
been thrown in, filling the barrel,
which was then headed and buried.
News of the discovery soon spread
through the neighborhood and bun-
dreds of people have visited the scene
and viewed the ghastly remains. The
identity of the body and everything
connected with it are shrouded in
mystery. which the body
The swamp in was
found is a dense jungle, t and tho spot
where , the ,, , barrel was unearthed is „ a
mile or more from any house.
The neighborhood is thinly settled
and about fifteen miles from Quitman.
No one lias been missing and none
of those who have come from the

Next, pieces of flesh and clothing good

appearance. The dress was of checked

FUNERAL SERVICES IN SENATE
Conducted Over Remains of Hon. Tsham
G. Haryift,
Impressive funeral services over the
late Senator Isham G. Harris occurred
in the senate chamber at noou Saturday
in th(t presence of President McKinley
nnd the members of his cabinet, sena-
tors and members of the house of rep-
resentatives, members of the diplo-
inatic corps, justices of the supreme
court and officials from nil branches of
public life.
The chamber had been elahorate'y
draped for the occasion. The desk of
the late senator was heavily bound iu
crepe. -
In the semi-circular area, imme-
diately in front of the presiding ofli-
cer, stood the casket, resting on heavy
black draped pedestals atid literally
buried in floral offerings. On the
plate was inscribed:
“Died July 7, 1897. Isham G.
Harris. Aged seventy-nine years.”
Tbe services were brief and simple,
consisting only of prayers by Rev.
Mr. Johnston, Rev. Dr. Duffy of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
and Chaplain Conden, of the house of
representatives, the latter pronouncing
the benediction,
At 12:30 p. m. the ceremony was
over and on motion of Senator Bate,
G f Tennessee, the senate adjourned. '

greater portion of the country July.* has
sweltered since the 1st of mod¬
erated in many localities Saturday,
anti predictions from 'the weather
bureau at Washington indicate, that
lower tempeaatures will bring general
relief.
The record of prostrations and deaths
resulting from tlio long heated term
approaches in magnitude that of. a
general epidemic. Reports from all
sections of the country received by
the Associated Press up to Saturday
night showed prostrations numbering
in the neighborhood of 2,000, with fa-
talities close to 350.
In addition to this, there were scores
of deaths resulting indirectly from the
intolerable heat, the death rate iu
many of the large cities showing a
fearful insrease over previous years,
The central states suffered more se-
verely than other sections, tho heat
being most deadly in Chicago, Cincin-
nati and St. Louis. In number of fa-
talities Chicago headed the list, with
87 deaths; Cincinnati and suburban
points reporting 65, and St. Louis 42.
Through the lower south the heat was
intense, but tho death rate is much
lower than in the north.

A special from Raleigh. N. C., says:

the North Carolina railway to the
Southern is positively to be made an
issue in the next campaign; that he
does not know whether a plank de-
daring against it will be in the repub-
